Is Suriya the New King of Kollywood?
But now, many fans and industry experts feel that Suriya is becoming the biggest name in Tamil cinema.
The Tamil film industry is going through a big change now. For many years, stars like Vijay, Ajith Kumar and Rajinikanth ruled the box office with huge fan following and blockbuster movies. But now, many fans and industry experts feel that Suriya is becoming the biggest name in Tamil cinema.
After Vijay announced his retirement from movies to focus on politics, many producers and directors started looking for another top hero who can lead big projects. At the same time, Ajith is said to be less interested in doing regular films. He is also choosing fewer projects, and many believe his market outside Tamil Nadu is not very strong compared to some other stars.
On the other hand, superstar Rajinikanth still enjoys massive respect and fan support. However, because of his age factor, filmmakers are also searching for younger stars who can carry the next generation of Tamil cinema.
This is where Suriya enters the picture strongly. Over the last few years, Suriya has built a solid fan base not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Telugu states and overseas markets. His movies like Soorarai Pottru, Jai Bhim, and Kanguva created huge discussions across India. Audiences appreciate him for choosing different scripts and powerful roles.
Many reports say that producers who once planned movies with Vijay are now approaching Suriya for new projects. Even Telugu producers are showing great interest in working with him and are reportedly offering huge amounts for his dates. This clearly shows how much demand Suriya currently has in the South Indian film industry.
Ajith may still remain a strong competitor inside Tamil Nadu because of his loyal fan base. But when it comes to overseas collections and worldwide popularity, many believe Suriya now has a stronger reach.
With pan-India cinema becoming more important every year, Suriya seems ready to dominate the Tamil film industry in the coming years. Fans are also excited to see how he will use this golden phase in his career.
